The Cornhuskers romped to n easy victory over a game but powerless Sodak team by an overwhelming margin of 46-0. Although the usual amount 6f fumbles and penalties which always occur during the first game of the year were abund ant, the Huskers displayed a powerful ground offense and fair defense. The Huskers will without was called back after he Inter- cepted a Coyote aerial deep in Husker territory and rushed the pigskin to mldfield where he was pulled down from behind. The run was called back when the Cornsuskers were found guilty of one of the half-dosen clipping penalties which they received. With only 25 seconds remain ing in the first half, Cifra, not to be outdone by his teammate rival .Novak, bulled over from the So dak n'ne, An excellent staee was set for Reynolds' outstanding punt return in the third quarter. The ball changed hands three times, with a neither team able to make a great doubt have a much harder time deal of headway, when Reynolds scoring and setting up defensive dropped back in kick formation Darners against xne weoreet 01 in an unsuspicious manner. the University of Oregon at Port land Saturday. Bob Reynolds, All-America halfback in 1950, scored only one touchdown, although he proved to be one of the best ground gain ers of the day. Reynolds swivel hipped his way to paydirt mid way in the third period on a fake punt play for his lone TD. He also connected on four of seven conversion attempts. Nebraska's fullback strength looms as a great asset to Coach Glassford on this year's squad. George Cifra and Ray Novak, who have had a two-man battle for first team positions since practice sessions started In late August, scored a pair of touch downs apiece during the high scoring fray. Cifra crossed the first enemy goal line of the season late in the first quarter when he drove over off tackle from the five yard line. Novak scored tLe next two touchdowns, the first on a beau tiful run from 21 yards out. He again made the 30,000 spectators come to his feet when he plowed over from the South Dakota five yard line just a few minutes Mer. His longest run of the day But when he took the ball and headed around his left end, there was no question that his run would be good for a num ber of yards at least a first down. The Rambler .with his uncanny eye lor protection and his mac nificent dodging ability, picked out his openings and raft to pay- dirt as he did so many times in 1951, when he established a na tional season scoring record for major colleges. The final two touchdowns, both chalked up on the scoreboard via the air route, both came In the final canto. Duane Rankin threw to Bin Thayer for one of the TD tosses. From the Sooth Dakota 47, Rankin hit Thayer with a per fect aerial, which Thayer took on the dead ran and skirted the sidelines for the remaining 27 yards to score. A Dan Brown to Dennis Kori nek pass in the final seconds of the game finished the scoring for the Huskers. The play covered 10 yards. The victory was the first Corn- husker win at Memorial Stadium since 1951. ''T'""'"- it s Vis . . , I v i Entries Due Today; Other Sports Start V . . .

Circumstances beyond their control have forced the Rally Committee to cancel (it was scarcely even planned) the tra dional rally that has heralded opening of the season-starting football game and the Fall ram pare of the Berkeley Bear. The story goes that the Foot ball festival, which is an annual ' 5 'promotional stunt of the Berkeley ?'' Junior Chamber of Commerce, has I 'finally reached such proportions i.that it leaves no time for just a plain old campus rally. The band is elsewhere and the hitherto lend lease football queens are there too. I While we like Berkeley and wish their Festival all the suc cess In the world, we are greedy enough to wish that arrange ments could have been made to leave us a little of our own time for a strictly University get together. Oklahoma . . . Oklahoma's new freshman foot ball squad is 84.2 per cent from Oklahoma. Handled by Jack Baer, baseball coach, and Port Robertson, wres tling coach, the green-shirted Sooners play two games this fall, at Southern Methodist and with Oklahoma A&M. Of the 57-man squad, 48 are from Oklahoma, six from Texas, two from Arkansas, and one from Michigan. Center and fullback are the positions in which Oklahoma can least afford to lose a first-teamer by injury. Behind Co-Captain Tom Cat lin, there is no offensive expert-, ence at center. Gene Mean, rangy Seminole sophomore, has the Inside track, followed by Dave Shelton, Muskogee sophomore. Behind Buck McPhail at full back there is nobody with a min ute of varsity offensive experi ence. Jerry Donaghey, Ada soph omore, and Jack Santee, converted halfback, are rated No. 2 and J at present. When Oklahoma's J. W. Washburn won a 4 40 -yard race around two curves in 46.5 sec onds at Cologne, Germany, Au gust 6, he strode the fastest 440 ever achieved by a United State college freshman, reports the TRACK AND FIELD NEWS " '1 t 4 s Jt Z?

The club will continue until there's snow on the ground end probably will start again early spring. Things are not too definite yet but If anybody wants any fur ther information call Janet Bai ley, who is in charge, at the Alpha Phi house. The W.A.A. council is quite excited about this new club and l hoping tba club will develop intt something worth while. Who knows maybe in a few years we will have a hockey tournament! To clarify a few things for the new freshmen, W.A.A. Is the abbreviation for Women's Ath letic Association. Any univer sity woman Is a member in W.A.A. and can participate in any of Its activities. However, freshmen cannot enter any of the tournament or clubs until after the first six Weeks A.W.S. ruling. To gain voting credit a person must earn ten points. A bonus of six points will be given to all freshmen students and a bonus of four points to all new trans fer students. Points may be earned In the following manner a. One point is earned for each game played In any of the Intramurals tournament. If the game la won by default, the team that Is present and ready to play will receive one point, but the members of the team that defaulted the game but are present will not re ceive a point. b. One point Is earned for each intramural game that a girl officiates, but no mora than six points may be earned by offlclatlnrl Intramural games. c. One point is earned for each W.A.A.-sponsored club meet ings attended, but no more thtn six points may be earned by attending Just one club, However, the -other four point may be earned by attending: one or more other clubs.

With eligibility commitments dissolved, how ever, he is ready for regular duty with the varsity. And he'll get plenty, for the Buff coach ing staff has him listed for offensive-defense action. The 180-pound, 19-year-old Neary, a product of Lakewood High, is especially welcome to the ranks. Buffalo fullbacks Merwin Hodel and Hugh Davidson both bowed out last year, leaving that post unusually thin.
